Customer Service Standards 

What service can you expect from us? 

Our aim is to administer the intellectual property legislation fairly and consistently. We 

believe it is important that you should know what you can expect from us and so we set

and publish major decisions which lay down new principles or reinforce existing 

ones for the grant and protection of IPR;

challenge them; 

• be positive and helpful to you; and 

• staff our enquiry points from 09:00 to 17:00

National Security 

Attention is drawn to the provisions of section 23 of the Patents Act 1977 which provides 

that no application for a patent for ANY invention may be made abroad by a person resident 

in the United Kingdom, without permission from the comptroller, unless application for a 

patent for the same invention has first been made in the United Kingdom, and six weeks 

have elapsed from the date of such application and no directions prohibiting publication or 

communication have been given or all such directions have been cancelled. Requests for 

permission from the comptroller to make an application abroad should be made even if for 

example such an application is required by contract with a foreign firm. Requests will be 

facilitated by explicitly addressing them “For attention in Room G.R70”. 

Normally the written authority required by section 23 will be posted from Newport on the 

same day that the request is received. If this degree of urgency does not suffice a 

telephone enquiry should first be made to +44(0)1633 813558. 

Filing of Patents and Registered Designs Documents by 

Post 

Anything sent to the Patent Office under UK patents and registered designs law 1 by posting 

in the United Kingdom is deemed to have been filed when it would have been delivered in 

the ordinary course of post. In practice, this has generally meant that patents and registered 

designs documents sent through the Royal Mail could, if delayed, be given a filing date 

before their actual date of receipt. Supporting evidence is called for in some cases before 

the earlier date is granted. 

Schedule 8 of the Postal Services Act 2000, which came into force on 26 March 2001, 

makes clear that the use of the terms “post”, “registered post”, “recorded delivery”, and 

“first class post” in legislation cannot be limited only to services provided by what it calls 

“the Post Office company”. As a result, the Patent Office now recognises as “post” any 

items delivered to it by any commercial service which undertakes to deliver mail in 

exchange for a fee. It follows that patents and registered designs documents sent by such 

commercial services can, if delayed, be deemed to have been filed before the actual date 

of receipt. 

Enquiries about this notice, and requests for documents to be given a filing date earlier 

than the actual date of receipt, should be directed to Kerry Collings at the Patent Office

Classification Information 

Classification Key 

The UK Classification Key is currently used to classify and, where appropriate, to index all 

published UK specifications. 

In addition selected published European (EP), Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications 

and US specifications have, in the past, been classified. Details of classification of non-UK 

documents on the UK Key are given at the end of this notice. 

The Classification Key sets out the Patent Office’s system of classification by means of over 

400 headings with detailed sub-classifying and indexing by coded terms within the 

headings. There are altogether about 78000 of these terms. The headings are arranged to 

form 40 divisions. One or more divisions are published as Units of the Classification Key, as 

shown below, at £12.50 per unit. The cost of a complete key is £300.

25 H3-5 

One further heading, U1S, falling outside the divisional structure, is provided for indexing 

significant uses, applications and utilities disclosed in connection with inventions classified 

in one or more of the above headings. 

In addition, the divisional structure above includes three headings used purely for indexing 

purposes, viz heading C6Y, Indexing Schedule for micro-organism information (used for 

recording new micro-organisms, and micro-organisms used in chemical, biochemical or 

microbiological processes), heading C3W, Indexing Schedule for polymer information (used 

for recording polymer information in documents classified in certain other C3 headings) and 

H3T, Indexing Schedule for amplifiers, oscillators, pulse logic and switching circuits (used in 

headings H3F, H3P or H3W). 

Three free pamphlets, which are supplied to each purchaser of one or more key units are 

available, namely: 

1. “Structure of the Classification Key”, listing the headings grouped under each of the 40 

divisions. 

2. “Notes on the Use of the Classification Key” 

3. “Heading U1S Universal Indexing Schedules for use, Application, Utility and Property” 

A “Concordance between the UK Key and the IPC” and a “Documentation Records” 

pamphlet are also available. These are supplied free of charge to each purchaser of a 

complete Key or can be purchased separately at a cost of £8 per copy. 

The Key is revised at intervals to incorporate changes in classification. Previously each 

edition related to a range of 50000 specifications or less. Now each edition is related to 

calendar dates.

26 March 2003 Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 xv 


On 1 January 2003 certain parts of the Key were republished and those parts of the Key 

together with unamended parts of Edition T collectively constitute Edition V. Edition V is 

operative from 1 January 2003 and will apply to published applications numbered from 

2377151 published under 1977 Act. 

In addition, the Documentation Records pamphlets was republished on 1 January 2003. 

The republished parts of the key together with the amended Documentation Records 

pamphlets is available at a cost of £15. 

Prior to Specification GB0940001 a different classification structure, having many more 

headings within 146 classes, was in use. A concordance showing the relationship between 

this previous classification structure and that which superseded it is obtainable free of 

charge from Sales. 

Catchwords Indexes 

A “Catchwords Index to the Classification Key” which costs £9 per copy is available to 

assist searchers to decide where the subject matter in which they are interested is likely to 

be found among the Headings of the Key. This Index consists of an alphabetical list of so 

called ‘catchwords’ identifying subjects in which invention is likely to occur. The Index is 

currently being updated and a revised version will be published later in the year. 

A “Catchwords Index to Heading U1S” is also available at a cost of £6 per copy. 

Divisional/Heading Allotment Index 

A Divisional/Heading Allotment Index is available showing the Classification Key Division(s) 

allocated to each specification published under the Patents Act 1949 and the Classification 

Key Heading(s) allocated to each application published under the Patents Act 1977. 

Subject-Matter File Lists 

Each file list is a tabulation of the serial numbers of all specifications which have been 

allotted a selected classifying or indexing code or a logical combination of codes, and thus 

provides a ready means of identifying specifications disclosing particular subject-matter. The 

codes selected must normally be those in the current edition of the Classification Key, with 

the exception of Series A list as explained below. However codes from earlier editions of 

the Key may be used to produce file lists as follows: 

i) Editions 1500 and A to I for specifications published up to the ends of 1978 to 1987 

respectively; 

ii) Edition J for specifications published up to 31 May 1990; 

iii) Editions K to N for specifications published up to the ends of 1992 to 1995 respectively; 

iv) Edition O to T for specifications published up to the ends of 1997 to 2002 respectively. 

Series A covers all specifications from year 1911 up to serial No 1000000 (ie, 1911 to July 

1965 only) and the codes specified must be those in the edition of the 

Classification Key for the series 960001 to 1000000. Price £6.00 (plus VAT) per 

list. 

Series C For any single code. Price £30 (plus VAT) per list. 

Series D For any combination of codes generally all taken from one Heading. Price £30 

(plus VAT) per list.

xvi Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 26 March 2003 


The range of specification numbers covered by Series C and D File Lists depends upon the 

Heading (or Part-Heading) concerned and the extent of backlogging following relevant 

revisions of the Classification key; this is because it has not always been necessary or 

efficient to backlog a new revision fully. Appropriate details are given in the Documentation 

Record of Each Heading (or Part-Heading), including information on how to retrieve relevant 

patent documents by series C or D file Lists as far back as the computer records go, using 

earlier editions of the Key if appropriate. 

In addition, as stated above, Series A File Lists are also available, and may need to be 

ordered if all relevant specifications below 1000001 are required to be retrieved, as the 

Series C and D File Lists do not necessarily contain all relevant specifications published 

before number 1000001. Further information may be obtained from Classification and 

Documentation Division or the Search and Advisory Service. 

In Headings where recent classification work has been carried out the information given in 

the Documentation record of the Heading may not be up to date. In such cases 

Classification and Documentation Division should be consulted for the latest situation. 

Each file list is produced to fulfil a specific order, however a set of the Series A File Lists is 

available for reference in the British Library. 

It will be appreciated if any instance of incorrect classification or indexing is brought to the 

notice of Classification and Documentation Division. 

The practice of classifying and indexing all published EP and PCT applications on the UK 

Classification Key ceased from specifications numbered EP 0285000 and WO1989/000001 

onwards and therefore, subject to certain exceptions set out below, EP and PCT 

applications published from these numbers will not appear on subject-matter file lists based 

on the provisions of the UK Key. 

Classification Manual 

A Manual is available which explains in detail the system used for Heading C2C. It also 

contains notes and examples on both indexing and searching and will thus be found helpful 

by all those using this heading for Search purposes, especially be way of Series C and D file 

lists. 

Heading C2C, Organic Compounds: 

Manual for the Computer Retrieval System “Organic Compounds” C2C. 

The latest edition of the C2C Manual which replaced the 1974 edition and its 

supplements was published to coincide with Edition I of the Classification Key. Copies 

are available from Sales price £25.00. 

This Manual is used in the UK Patent Office for all searches within the field of organic 

chemistry corresponding to Heading “C2C - Organic compounds” of the UK 

Classification Key, and was developed by the co-operative effort of some 30 

examiners and analysts. It first became operative in April 1974 with the exception of a 

few classifying and indexing terms which became operative later. 

Since 1974 there have been a number of changes to, or affecting the system. The 

major changes are summarized in Appendix F of the latest edition.

26 March 2003 Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 xvii 


UK Classification of UK, EP and PCT Patent Specifications 

Computer prints giving the UK classification allotted to UK specifications and to EP and PCT 

patent specifications classified on the UK Key are available at a price of £5.25 per 

specification. 

The classification given will reflect any reclassification that has taken place. 

Requests for these prints should be made through the Patent Office (Sales). 

Classification on non-UK documents on the UK Key 

Prior to EP0285000 and WO1989/000001, all EP and PCT published applications, with the 

exception of applications relating to organic structures and certain syntheses falling within 

the scope of heading C2C, Organic compounds, were classified according to the UK Key. 

In the case of organic structures and certain syntheses falling within the scope of heading, 

C2C, EP and PCT applications published up to EP0219999 and WO1987/002999 were 

classified with all the appropriate term/s from heading C2C. EP and PCT applications 

published from EP0220000 and WO1987/003000 and up to EP0285000 and WO1989/ 

000001 respectively attracted only terms CAA or CAB from heading C2C. 

From EPO285000 and WO1989/000001, only selected EP and PCT published applications 

relating to particular subject matter areas have been classified according to the UK Key. The 

headings or part headings of the UK Key in which these selected applications have been 

classified are listed below together with the serial numbers from which classification in 

certain of the headings has been discontinued. 

Those headings identified by an * are those in which selected US patent documents have 

been classified on the UK Key. It should be noted that only a limited number of US 

documents have been classified in the headings indicated and therefore subject-matter file 

lists based on the provisions of the UK Key will be substantially incomplete for US 

documents. 

UK Key Headings in which non-UK documents continued to be classified for a limited 

period after EP0285000 and WO1989/000001:

Electronic Communications on Patents Matters with the 

Patent Office 

The Office will soon be in a position to allow certain new forms of electronic 

communication on patents matters between the Patents Directorate and its customers. 

There are two stages yet to be completed before that will be possible: 

(1) the adaption of the legal framework, and; 

(2) the making of directions under the new legal framework. 

(1) The adaption of the legal framework 

It is anticipated that from 1 April 2003 the Patents Act 1977 and The Patents Rules 1995 

will be amended by two Statutory Instruments. The two instruments are: 

The Patents Act 1977 (Electronic Communications) Order 2003, and; 

The Patents (Electronic Communications)(Amendment) Rules 2003 

The Patents Act 1977 (Electronic Communications) Order 2003 is an Order made under the 

provisions of Sections 8 and 9 of the Electronic Communications Act 2000 and its effect 

will be to introduce a new section, section 124A, into the Patents Act. Section 124A will 

allow the comptroller to make directions as to the form of electronic patent documents 

and the manner by which they are delivered by electronic communications to the Office. 

The Patents (Electronic Communications)(Amendment) Rules 2003 is an associated 

Statutory Instrument which will update The Patents Rules 1995 to allow for electronic 

communications. 

The new provisions set out in the two instruments reflect provisions that appeared in a 

draft Order which formed part of the Office’s electronic communications consultation 

which closed on 16 August 2002. The introduction of these two Statutory Instruments will 

not affect the Office’s existing electronic services for which guidance has already been 

issued. 

(2) Making directions 

By making directions under section 124A the comptroller will put in place a structured 

system for communicating with the Office on patent matters using electronic 

communications. These directions will also ensure the Office can interpret electronic 

communications that are sent to it. 

All new electronic services from the Patents Directorate will be subject to specific 

directions and the comptroller will advertise these directions in this Journal at least 12 

weeks before the service comes into operation. It is envisaged that directions will issue 

shortly to allow patent applications to be withdrawn by an email message. 

A further notice will appear once the Statutory Instruments are in force.

the International Registration of Marks 

Declarations by the Republic of Belarus 


Republic of Belarus, on 28 January 2003, of the following declarations made with respect 

to the Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International 

Registration of Marks, adopted at Madrid on 27 June 1989 (“Madrid Protocol (1989)”). 

- the declaration that, in accordance with Article 5(2)(d) of the Madrid Protocol 

(1989), under Article 5(2)(b) of the said Protocol, the time limit of one year to 

exercise the right to notify a refusal of protection referred to in Article 5(2)(a) 

thereof is replaced by 18 months; 

- the declaration that, in accordance with Article 8(7)(a) of the Madrid Protocol 

(1989), the Republic of Belarus, in connection with each international 

registration in which it is mentioned under Article 3ter of the said Protocol, and 

in connection with the renewal of any such international registration, wants to 

receive, instead of a share in the revenue produced by the supplementary and 

complementary fees, an individual fee. 

These declarations shall take effect on 28 April 2003.

xxii Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 26 March 2003 



the International Registration of Marks 

Declaration by the Kingdom of the Netherlands 


Kingdom of the Netherlands, on 14 November 2002 and on 28 January 2003, of its 

instrument of acceptance, in respect of the Netherlands Antilles, of the Protocol Relating 

to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks, adopted at 

Madrid on 27 June 1989 (“Madrid Protocol (1989)”). 

The Madrid Protocol (1989) will apply, with respect to the Netherlands Antilles, with effect 

from 28 April 2003. 

Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and 

Artistic Works 

Accession by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea 

On 28 January 2003, the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea 

deposited its instrument of accession to the Berne Convention for the Protection of 

Literary and Artistic Works of 9 September 1886, as revised at Paris on 24 July 1971, and 

amended on 28 September 1979, with the declaration that the Democratic People’s 

Republic of Korea avails itself of the faculties provided for in Articles II and III of the 

Appendix to the said Convention. 

Furthermore, the said instrument of accession contains the declaration that, pursuant to 

Article 33(2) of the said Convention, as so revised, the Government of the Democratic 

People’s Republic of Korea does not consider itself bound by the provisions of paragraph 

(1) of Article 33 of that Convention. 

The Berne Convention as revised will enter into force, with respect to the Democratic 

People’s Republic of Korea, on 28 April 2003. On that date, the Democratic People’s 

Republic of Korea will also become a member of the International Union for the Protection 

of Literary and Artistic Works (“Berne Union”), founded by the Berne Convention. 

RETENTION OF ENVELOPES 

In light of the infrequent recourse and the disproportionate cost, the current Office practice 

of retaining all envelopes for 3 months after the date of filing will cease with effect from 31 

March 2003. In future, where there is a dispute relating to filing dates accorded by the 

Office, the onus will be on the customer to submit supporting evidence to substantiate 

their claim. 

This change in practice does not affect EPC and PCT applications or forms P54/77 

submitted with translations in connection with European patents or European patent 

applications, where we will continue to retain the envelopes.

The Civil Procedure (Amendment No 2) Rules 2002 

(SI No 2002/3219) 

These Rules will enter into force on 1 April 2003, and will provide a new Part 63 of the Civil 

Procedure Rules 1998 governing the procedures for intellectual property rights in the 

courts of England and Wales. Part 63 and a supplementary Practice Direction will 

supersede Practice Direction 49E. 

The new rules will affect procedure before the comptroller as follows: 

Applications to amend a patent specification in existing proceedings 

Rule 63.10 introduces a new procedure for making applications under section 75 of the 

Patents Act in proceedings before the courts, including, if reasonably possible, the service 

of the application notice on the comptroller electronically. Further details of the new 

procedure are included in the notice “Applications to amend the specification of a patent 

under Sections 27 and 75 of the Patents Act 1977” below. 

Appeals from the comptroller 

Rule 63.17 prescribes that Part 52 of the Civil Procedure Rules applies to appeals to the 

High Court from the comptroller. Further details of the consequential changes to the 

appeals procedure are given in Tribunal Practice Notice 1/2003 below. 

Enquiries should be directed to the persons indicated in these further notices. 

Applications to amend the specification of a patent 

under Sections 27 and 75 of the Patents Act 1977 

Introduction 

1. New procedures are being introduced to enable proposed amendments to be made 

available to third parties on the Patent Office website. 

2. This change is aimed at both speeding up proceedings and presenting proposed 

amendments in a clearer and more helpful format. 

3. Notice of proposed amendments will continue to be advertised in the Journal, and 

copies of proposed amendments will also be available, by fax or post, from the comptroller.

xxiv Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 26 March 2003 


4. To enable this change to be made, anyone wishing to propose an amendment under 

section 27 or 75 will be required, if reasonably possible, to deliver the amendment (and 

where applicable the reasons for making the amendment) to the comptroller electronically. 

For section 75 this applies to proposals to amend before the courts of England and Wales 

as well as before the comptroller. 

Legislative background 

5. The Civil Procedure (Amendment No 2) Rules 2002 (SI No 2002/3219) will enter into 

force on 1 April 2003. These Rules will provide a new Part 63 of the Civil Procedure Rules 

1998, entitled “Patents and Other Intellectual Property Claims”, governing intellectual 

property proceedings in the courts of England and Wales. Part 63, together with a 

supplementary Practice Direction, will supersede Practice Direction 49E. The SI, Part 63 

and the Practice Direction are available from The Stationery Office. They are also 

published on the Lord Chancellor’s Department website (www.lcd.gov.uk) at “Civil 

Procedure Rules” (see “Statutory Instruments” and “Rules and Practice Directions”). 

6. Rule 63.10 introduces a new procedure for making applications under section 75 before 

the courts, including “ if it is reasonably possible”, the service of the application notice on 

the comptroller electronically; and paragraph 12.2 of the Practice Direction provides that: 

“Where the application notice is served on the Comptroller electronically under rule 

63.10(3), it must comply with any requirements for the sending of electronic 

communications to the Comptroller.” 

7. It is anticipated that The Patents Act 1977 (Electronic Communications) Order 2003 and 

a parallel Statutory Instrument introducing associated rule changes will also enter into 

force on 1 April 2003. Included will be changes to rules 40 and 78 of The Patents Rules 

1995 which deal with amendments under section 27 and 75. These changes will, in line 

with the new Civil Procedure Rules, require amendments (and where applicable the 

reasons therefor) to be delivered to the comptroller electronically if reasonably possible. 

8. Under this Order, a new section 124A of The Patents Act 1977 will provide that the 

comptroller may make directions as to the form and manner in which documents may be 

electronically delivered. 

Explanatory notes 

9. For proposals to amend under section 75 before the courts, applicants will have to file 

an “application notice” under Part 23 of the Civil Procedure Rules. This must include, inter 

alia, practice Form N 244 (or the equivalent), the particulars of the amendment, and the 

grounds for seeking the amendment. All of this (together with a fee) must go to the court 

on paper, and should also be served on the comptroller electronically if reasonably possible 

(see rule 63.10 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998, as amended). 

10. For proposals to amend under section 75 before the comptroller, applicants will simply 

be required to deliver the proposed amendment to the comptroller electronically if 

reasonably possible.

26 March 2003 Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 xxv 


11. For proposals to amend under section 27, applicants will have to file Form 11/77 

(together with the appropriate fee) identifying the amendment and stating the reasons for 

it, on paper as at present (at least for the time being). In addition, the amendment and the 

reasons for it should also be delivered to the comptroller electronically if reasonably 

possible. (NB. The directions below relate to the amendment and the reasons for it, but do 

not currently provide for an electronic Form 11/77). 

12. Given the widespread use of word processing for the preparation of patent 

specifications, the comptroller will generally assume that it is “reasonably possible” for 

amendments filed by patent agents, solicitors and large companies to be delivered 

electronically in most cases. However, to help with the transition, although applicants are 

encouraged to use electronic delivery at any time from 1 April 2003, the comptroller will 

not assume that it is reasonably possible for any applicant to use electronic delivery until 

1 July 2003. 

Directions 

13. Directions for the electronic delivery of applications to amend the specification of a 

patent under sections 27 and 75 are as follows: 

By email 

(i) Electronic delivery should be made either by email to 

litigationamend@patent.gov.uk , or on an electronic carrier (such as floppy disc 

or CD-R) delivered to the Patent Office and accompanied by an identifying 

letter. 

(ii) The Patent Office will not accept an email for these purposes at any email 

address other than that given in note (i) above. The email should be a plain text 

message (RFC822-compliant). We will not accept MS-TNEF/RTF format 

messages or HTML format messages; nor will we accept messages that are 

encrypted or digitally signed. 

(iii) The email should be entitled “Proposal to amend under s75 before the courts 

[or the comptroller]” or “Proposal to amend under s27” as appropriate 

(iv) The text may be provided as an attachment to the email 

IT requirements 

(v) Since, among other reasons, business under sections 27 and 75 is of relatively 

low volume, the Patent Office intends to adopt an open approach to formats 

and carrier media and not, at this early stage at least, to impose restrictions. 

Well known word processing packages such as Microsoft Word and 

WordPerfect (“Microsoft” and “WordPerfect” are registered trade marks), and 

carriers such as floppy discs and CD-R (ISO 9660) will be accepted. We will also 

accept documents in PDF format. However, if the Office is unable to read the 

text, it will be treated as not delivered, and in these circumstances the applicant 

will be contacted by the Office with a view to making alternative arrangements.

xxvi Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 26 March 2003 


Setting out the amendments 

Enquiries 

(vi) We would encourage applicants to use conventional word processing features 

such as markup, coloured text and strikeout/strikethrough to set out the 

amendments on the original version of the text in a way that makes it easy for 

the reader to appreciate the changes.

Tribunal Practice Notice 1/2003: Appeals to the Court 

from the Comptroller 

Introduction 

1. The Civil Procedure (Amendment No 2) Rules 2002 (SI No 2002/3219) will enter into 

force on 1 April 2003. These Rules will provide a new Part 63 of the Civil Procedure Rules 

1998 governing intellectual property proceedings, entitled “Patents and Other Intellectual 

Property Claims”. Part 63, together with a supplementary Practice Direction, will 

supersede Practice Direction 49E. The SI, Part 63 and the Practice Direction are available 

from The Stationery Office. They are also published on the Lord Chancellor’s Department 

website www.lcd.gov.uk (go to “Civil Procedure Rules”, and then to “Statutory 

Instruments” and “Rules and Practice Directions”). 

2. The specific provisions for patent and trade mark appeals in sections 16 and 23 

respectively of Practice Direction 49E will therefore no longer apply. By virtue of new rule 

63.17, all appeals to the court from the comptroller will be governed by Part 52 of the Civil 

Procedure Rules. Patent appeals (which include supplementary protection certificate 

appeals by virtue of rule 63.1(2)(e)) are to be made to the Patents Court, and other appeals 

to the Chancery Division. Any document required by Part 52 to be served must also be 

served on the comptroller. (References to the comptroller in this Notice include the 

registrar of trade marks and registered designs.) 

3. These changes will affect the procedure for appeals from 1 April 2003 as regards: 

· the period to file the notice of appeal at the court; 

· extension of that period; and 

· the nature of the appeal.

26 March 2003 Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 xxvii 


4. The new Rules apply only to the courts in England and Wales. They do not apply to 

appeals to the Appointed Person and to the Registered Designs Appeal Tribunal. The 

position concerning these appeals is explained at paragraphs 12 and 13 below. 

Period for appeal: CPR rule 52.4 

5. The automatic periods prescribed by sections 16.3 and 23.3 of Practice Direction 49E 

(14 days for matters of procedure and six weeks in other cases for patent appeals, and 28 

days for trade mark appeals) are abolished. In accordance with rule 52.4(2), notice of 

appeal must be filed within 14 days of the decision in all cases unless the comptroller 

directs a different period. 

6. To avoid any doubt, the hearing officer acting for the comptroller will usually, as part of 

his or her decision, either confirm the 14 day period or direct a different period. If the 

decision does not state a period, it will be 14 days. It will no longer be necessary in patent 

proceedings for the hearing officer to determine whether the decision relates to a matter 

of procedure. 

7. In deciding the appropriate period for appeal, the comptroller will reflect the policy of 

the courts (which is explained in “Civil Procedure” at paragraph 52.4.1). It is expected that 

a period of 14 days will be appropriate in most cases. Only for good reasons will the 

comptroller be prepared to allow a longer period, and it is most unlikely that this would 

exceed 28 days. Exceptionally, a period less than 14 days may be directed where time is 

of the essence. In appropriate cases submissions on the length of the appeal period to be 

allowed should form part of the parties’ written or oral submissions. 

8. In accordance with rules 52.4(3) and 63.17(3), the appeal notice must be served on each 

respondent and on the comptroller as soon as practicable and in any event not later than 7 

days after it is filed. The period of 21 days prescribed by sections 16.8 and 23.4 of Practice 

Direction 49E is abolished. 

Extension of the appeal period: CPR rule 52.6 

9. In accordance with rule 52.6(1) and paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3 of Practice Direction 52, any 

application to extend the period for appeal must be made to the court. The parties cannot 

extend the period by agreement (rule 52.6(2)). Further, it will no longer be possible for the 

comptroller to extend the period at the request of a party, as was previously possible under 

sections 16.5 and 23.8 of Practice Direction 49E. 

10. An appellant who applies for an extension from the court must state the reasons for 

the delay and the steps taken prior to the application being made. The respondent has a 

right to be heard on the application. Accordingly, a party who envisages at the outset a 

need for an appeal period longer than 14 days would be well advised to give his or her 

reasons as part of the written or oral submissions mentioned in paragraph 7 above, rather 

than leave the matter to be dealt with later by the court on an application for extension.

xxviii Patents and Designs Journal No. 5940 26 March 2003 


The nature of the appeal: CPR rule 52.11. 

11. In general, in accordance with rule 52.11 (which already governed trade mark appeals 

to the court in the absence of specific provision in Practice Direction 49E), the appeal will 

be limited to a review of the comptroller’s decision. The practice of the courts under rule 

52.11 is explained in the commentary in “Civil Procedure”. Section 16.15 of Practice 

Direction 49E, whereby patents appeals were by way of a rehearing rather than a review 

(although further evidence was prohibited on appeal except with the leave of the court) 

will no longer apply. 

Transitional provisions 

12. The new rules do not make specific provision for appeals against decisions issued 

before 1 April 2003 whose original appeal period (ie as prescribed by Practice Direction 

49E) would have continued beyond the 14-day default period that will be effective by virtue 

of rule 52.4 as from 1 April 2003. In effect, these appeal periods may be abruptly truncated 

on that date (or shortly after for decisions issued in the last two weeks of March). The 

comptroller has no power to alter the periods prescribed in Practice Direction 49E of her 

own volition, but equally, as explained above, she will have no power to extend the rule 

52.4 period. However, the Patents Court has made clear that, unless there are special 

circumstances, it will look sympathetically on any request to extend to its original length 

any appeal period which gets truncated in this way. An announcement to that effect is to 

be made in the Patents Court Guide, available on the Court Service website 

www.courtservice.gov.uk. 

Appeals to the Appointed Person and the Registered Designs Appeal Tribunal 

Appointed Person 

13. The period for appeal to the Appointed Person is 28 days under the Trade Marks Rules 

and the comptroller has sole jurisdiction to extend this period. In relation to the nature of 

the appeal, the Appointed Person is not bound by the Civil Procedure Rules but is generally 

guided by the court’s approach to the distinction between review and rehearing. 

Registered Designs Appeal Tribunal 

14. The Registered Designs Appeal Tribunal Rules 1950 (as amended 1970) govern 

appeals to the Tribunal under section 28 of the Registered Designs Act 1949 (as amended 

by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988) and section 249 of the 1988 Act. Under 

these Rules the period for appeal is 14 days for a decision on a matter of procedure and 

six weeks for other decisions, and the comptroller may extend the period upon request 

made prior to its expiry.

Applications for Patents Filed 

Application Number Range 

GB0303728.0 - GB0304283.5 

This index sets out details of applications for patents filed in the 

application number range given above. The entries are arranged in 

alphabetical order according to the applicant’s name. Where there 

are joint applicants, then the entry under the name of the first 

applicant sets out details of the application, including the names of 

the other applicants. The entries under the names of the other 

applicants are cross referenced to the entry for the first applicant. 

Each entry in the index under the name of the (or the first) 

applicant provides the following information: the name(s) of the 

applicant(s); the title of the invention; the filing date of the 

application; any priority details; and the application number allotted 

to the application. 

Where an application is requesting an early date under Section 8, 

12,15(4), or 37 of the Act, then the filing date of the earlier 

application is included (see example 2). Where an application is 

derived from an application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty or 

is converted from a European Patent Application, then the 

application number, the publication number, and the date of filing 

of the PCT or EP application are included (see example 3). 

The application number includes, at its end, a check digit. The full 

application number, including the check digit, should be quoted in 

all correspondence concerning proceedings in respect of an 

application up to the grant of a patent. When the application is 

published under Section 16(1) of the Act, it will be accorded to a 

seven-figure serial number. This should be used only when seeking 

to identify printed copies of the specification and its abstract and to 

make enquiries concerning entries in the Register of Patents. 

These applications will not be available to the public for inspection 

or purchase until the date of publication under Section 16(1) of the 

Act. This date will be advertised in a subsequent issue of this 

Journal.

Applications published : 

Subject-Matter Index 

GB2379852 - GB2380113 

This index sets out details of applications in the above number 

range which are published under Section 16(1) as from the date of 

publication of this issue of the Journal. Printed copies of the 

applications, together with the front pages containing their abstracts 

and bibliographic and classification data, and copies of search 

report under section 17, are now available at £2.67 per copy 

(including postage) from The Patent Office (Sales), Concept 

House, Cardiff Road, Newport, South Wales NP10 8QQ. These 

items are also available, but for a limited period only, to personal 

callers at Harmsworth House, 13-15 Bouverie Street, London 

EC4Y 8DP. 

The index also includes applications in the above number range 

derived from applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty 

(PCT) which have entered the UK national phase. Printed copies 

of the front page of these applications are similarly available 

together with English translations of those applications published 

under the PCT in a language other than English. 

Each entry in the index provides the following information: the 

publication number; the application number; the date on which the 

application was filed at the Office; the name(s) of the applicant(s) 

and the country of incorporation; the abstract title; any priority 

details; the United Kingdom Classification Heading(s) assigned to 

the application; and the International Patent Classification assigned 

to the application. 


12, 15(4), or 37 of the Act, then the application number and the 

date of filing of the earlier application are included (see example 2). 

Where an application is derived from an application under the 

Patent Cooperation Treaty or is converted from a European Patent 

application, then the application number, the date of filing, the 

publication number and the date of publication of the PCT or EP 

application are included (see example 3). 

In the index, the entries are grouped in ascending publication 

number order according to the UK Classification Headings. The 

UK Heading is given at the beginning of each group. Where an 

application has been classified in a supplementary (or secondary) 

Heading, then the entry under the primary Heading includes details 

of the application and the entry under the supplementary Heading 

is in the form of a cross reference to the primary Heading (see 

example 4). 

The publication number is the seven figure number given to an 

application when it is published and by which it will be recorded on 

the Register of Patents. Printed copies of each application will also 

be identified by the publication number, followed by the document 

type “A”. This identification should be quoted in full when 

ordering copies. However, for all proceedings up to grant of a 

patent, the application number originally assigned should be used. 

There follows four examples of entries for this index. The first 

does not include any information on priorities, earlier applications, 

or PCT or EP applications. The second and third include priority 

information. In addition, the second includes information carried 

A1B 

GB2379853 See entry under Heading A1F 

A1E 

for a divisional application, and the third includes information 

carried for an application derived from a PCT application. The 

fourth example shows an entry under a supplementary Heading.

Name Index 

This index lists, in alphabetical order, the names of applicants and 

inventors for the applications the publication of which is announced 

in this issue of the Journal. The entry under the name of the 

applicant sets out the details of the application including the name 

of any inventor who is not also an applicant. Where an inventor is 

also an applicant, the name appears in the index only as an 

applicant. Where there are joint applicants, details of the 

application are given only for the entry under the name of a first 

applicant, the entries under the names of the other applicants being 

cross referenced to the entry for the first applicant. Where an 

inventor is not also an applicant, the entry under the name of the 

inventor is cross referenced to the entry of the applicant, or the first 

applicant in the case of joint applicants. 

Each entry under the name of the (or the first) applicant provides 

the following information: the name(s) of the applicant(s); the 

country of incorporation; the names of inventors who are not also 

applicants; the UK Classification Headings accorded to the

This index lists, in alphabetical order, the names of proprietors 

and inventors for patents whose grant is announced in this issue of 

the Journal. The entry under the name of the proprietor sets out the 

details of the patent including the name of any inventor who is not 

also a proprietor. Where an inventor is also a proprietor, the name 

appears in the index only as a proprietor. Where there are joint 

proprietors, details of the patent are given only for the entry under 

the name of a first proprietor, the entries under the names of the 

other proprietors being cross referenced to the entry for the first 

proprietor. Where an inventor is not also a proprietor, then the 

entry under the name of the inventor is cross referenced to the entry 

for the proprietor, or the first proprietor in the case of joint 

proprietors. 

Each entry under the name of the (or the first) proprietor 

provides the following information: the name(s) of the 

proprietor(s); the country of incorporation; the names of inventors 

who are not also proprietors; the UK Classification Headings 

accorded to the patent; and the publication number of the patent. 

There follows three examples of entries in this index. The first 

example illustrates the case where there is a single proprietor who is 

also the inventor. The second example illustrates the case where 

there is a single proprietor and an inventor who is not also a 

proprietor, and includes the entry for the inventor. The third 

example illustrates the case where there are joint proprietors and a n 

inventor who is not also a proprietor, and includes the entries for 

the other proprietors and the inventor.

European Patents void 

This index lists European Patents designating the United 

Kingdom as a Contracting State, which were published in French 

or German and for which an English translation has not been filed 

within the period prescribed by the Patents Rules. In accordance 

with Section 77(7), they are therefore treated as always having 

been void. The patents are listed in ascending publication number 

order. Against each publication number is the corresponding 

application number and the date of the European Bulletin in 

which grant by the EPO was announced.

(Supplementary Protection Certificates for Medicinal 

Products and Plant Protection Products, respectively) 

These entries include details of all proceedings relating to 

Supplementary Protection Certificates. Applications for 

Supplementary Protection Certificates are numbered in a single 

yearly sequence commencing SPC/GB93/001 covering both 

medicinal and plant protection products and the same number is 

retained for the granted certificate. Proceedings are open to public 

inspection but the granted certificate is not separately published. 

The entries are grouped in categories according to the type of 

proceedings. Within each category the entries are arranged in 

alphabetical order according to the name of the applicant for, or 

holder of, the certificate and provide the following information; 

the name and address of the applicant or holder; the product in 

respect of which the certificate has been applied for or granted; the 

product type; ie. “Medicinal” or “Plant Protection”; the number 

and date of the first authorisation under Directive 65/65/EEC or 

Directive 81/851/EEC to place the product on the market as a 

medicinal product in the United Kingdom or the number and date 

of the first authorisation under Article 4 of Directive 91/414/EEC 

or an equivalent provision of national law to place the product on 

the market as a plant protection product in the United Kingdom; 

where relevant, the country; number and date of the first 

authorisation to place the product on the market in the European 

Community; the number and title of the basic UK patent or 

European patent (UK) which protects the product; and the 

number of the application or certificate. 

The entries will also state as appropriate: the filing date of the 

application; the date of grant or rejection of the application; the 

maximum period of the granted certificate; the effective period of 

the certificate on entry into force; and the date of lapse or 

invalidity of the certificate. 

There follows three examples of entries under these proceedings. 

The first relates to a new application for a certificate based on a 

European patent designating the United Kingdom and having first 

authorisation of the product in the United Kingdom. The second 

example relates to a certificate granted based, once again, on a 

European patent designating the United Kingdom but with the 

first product authorisation in the EEC in Denmark. The third 

refers to a certificate entering into force based on a United 

Kingdom patent with first product authorisation in the EEC in 

Belgium.
